Ruth:
Why do you look at me like that?

Mahlon:
Because you are so beautiful, so very beautiful. Don't you know that you are?

Ruth:
I have never thought about it.

Mahlon:
No one has ever told you? No man has ever looked at you as I do?

Ruth:
If... if he has, I have not seen it.

Mahlon:
You were not watching for it. Isn't it pleasant, even for a priestess to be told that she is beautiful, especially when it's true?

Ruth:
Is beauty so important?

Mahlon:
The beauty that's within, as I know it is with you.

Ruth:
How do you know?

Mahlon:
I am older than you, and the years teach.
